Located about a 5 minute walk from Scoor House, Shepherds Cottage is a detached traditional Scottish crofter’s home with its own small walled garden area.

Entrance is via a small porch with recycling bins and then into the main hallway. To the right is the superbly appointed kitchen. This has excellent solid wood fitted units with wall oven, ceramic hob, dishwasher, fridge freezer, microwave and toaster. Centre piece is a large dining table with seating for 6. The kitchen also has the added feature of a lovely small multi-fuel stove. In the colder months this provides a really warming glow to add to the whole island experience.

There is a large bathroom with walk-in shower. Next door is the main lounge. This includes a comfortable suite, an open fire and well stocked bookcases with games/jigsaws. There is also a portable TV with Sky freeview (also has access to over 100 digital channels) and a DVD player. Upstairs is a good size double room, a large family room with two twin beds and a full size bunk bed and a small, single box room.

With a genuine “away from it all” feeling and stunning views over the sea to Colonsay, Shepherds Cottage is the perfect retreat for a group/family of up to six.

Shepherd’s Cottage is strictly NON SMOKING.

Please note that there is no mobile phone reception at Scoor. It is sometimes available nearbye but depends on your network. It is best to assume that you will NOT get a signal.

Please bear this is mind when planning a visit.
